Again chosen as The Modern Poem Of The Day. Congrats and 5 Stars! After the start of the very sad and heavy poem A clear Midnight by Walt Whitman, this is utmost funny and artistically worded, rereading this cozy poem, makes me only commenting more.5 Big Stars!
Summing up: The poem humorously portrays the wind as a mischievous character that disrupts the lives of various people, from Granny to religious figures. Through playful language and unexpected events, Milligan emphasizes the wind's power and its indiscriminate impact on everyone.
Spike Milligan, a very talented famous poet, his poems are all in perfect rhymes and rhythm. Very pleasant to read. TOP Marks and TFS

I can remember been taught this poem when I was 7 but for the life of me couldn’t remember the first line. Thanks!
